One fruit salad recipe requires 1/2 cup of sugar. Another recipe for the same fruit salad requires 2 tablespoons of sugar. If 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 1/16cup, how much more sugar does the first recipe require?

Solution:

Given one fruit salad recipe requires 1/2 cup of sugar

Another recipe requires 2 tablespoons

1 tablespoon is equivalent to 1/16cup

2 tablespoons is equivalent to 1/8cup

For the first recipe, we need 1/2cup sugar

By concept of proportion, we multiply with 8

We get 8 tablespoon is equivalent to 1/2 cup

To calculate how much more, we need to find the difference

8 tablespoon-2tablespoon= 6 tablespoon

Therefore, 6 tablespoons more of sugar is required for the first recipe
